To celebrate the holidays together, we will play Round up BINGO. Come and join in the fun on Friday, Dec. 4. This game includes rounding to the nearest thousand's place. All students are welcome and any strugglers will be helped, but this is recommended for grades 2-5. Students will need to pre-print the BINGO card for the activity.
Mental Health Moments
Here's a great strategy shared by our School Psychologist, Katie Hoellwarth.
Happy Memory
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Think of a happy memory. It can be a party, a vacation, an event, or any time you were really happy. Continue breathing deeply as you remember all the details of your happy memory. Act as if you are in the memory. Try to identify anything you can see, hear, taste, smell, touch, or feel.
